There is nothing wrong with it and nobody says not to use it. It is only about to let as much people as possible know that console updates still will be developed to keep up the support by the community. That's the point - economics.
I think you've misunderstood my meaning. I have no problem with news being posted everywhere; I'm well aware that others use twitter and steam and a host of other social media and I think spreading the news far and wide is a good thing. I just disagreed with what skippy said about "expecting your audience to come to forums to get news in threads and threads of information just doesn't do it anymore" as I feel the forum is serving its purpose and suits those of us who don't have/want a twitter or steam account. That'a all.
Yeah, but not fact-checking and posting outright lies as a result is pretty bad form.
I agree with you too but as soon as the TTG-thing must have been expectable for TTG and IG they must have changed their way of spreading information and communicating.
Again, my comment was about a specific thing - namely the notification that the console will definitely continue to be supported and Skippy's rather negative (and incorrect) response about where the news was posted. I wasn't commenting on how the news broke about TTG laying off staff and I'm not going to speculate about that situation.
Skippy, I love you, man, but please eat a Snickers. I understand that part of your livelihood relies on this game continuing but you're posting conjecture as fact and that's not good. You have a huge following. You taught me how to play the game. The whole community is on edge and you're one of its leaders. It's your responsibity now.
It was not about Skippy or the TTG story. I have criticized the strategy of hesitating so many times in general. Sometimes there might be a point in waiting for facts and safe information but as soon as the whole company gets in financial trouble they have to communicate with their customers - especially when having different games in early access. The customers confidence is the only ship on the stormy sea.
You're 100% right, alas it's a common occurrence among normal persons.
No - YOUR comment is about criticising the way the developers communicate. As I've already explained, MY comment was specifically about TFP news that console is still being supported and to address Skippy's comment on the use of the forum. I don't understand why you don't get that. I have explained this twice and won't do so again.
Obviously we are talking about completely different things. I could have posted my words on the steam forum or anywhere else and no meaning had ever changed at all. But as you say: This conversation is out of gas.
Yes, I agree with you. Keeping calm and providing support is the only way to keep the engine running. I am pretty sure TFP are not happy to care about three platforms now at the same time. Nevertheless they want to share the pc experience with us.
I meant that 7 DTD has never been as expensive as a full price game but many of us have never spent so much time with GTA for example like with 7 DTD. Nevertheless...the lower the price the less money they earn with it.$60? When was this game ever $60? I really don't believe this game went above $40. I don't recall it being $40 but someone claimed they spent $40 on it and maybe I guess. I believe I payed $35 within the first few months it came out. Bought a few copies for some friends and myself. But I don't recall it ever once being $60. This is US dollars I'm talking about just incase.
TFP did hire some people and have pushed the game along very well. I guess that isn't good enough and they need to hire more and that will not be good enough and they should hire more. I mean this isn't a big company they can't just hire and hire and hire or they will not make any money. So I think they are fine unless they wanna hire one more and that would be Clare
Not sure why people are arguing.... ok maybe not arguing I guess disagreeing about the way they communicate. TFP communicates in multiple places not just one so not sure what the problem is. So they probably spend some extra time in the forums then other places, so what this is their website why wouldn't they be here.
The way I see things is you can't please everyone. Even a very small group of people you not going to please them all. Sure it can be done but still very hard and that depends on what it is. So as the group gets bigger and bigger then it becomes impossible to please everyone without a doubt. Some people don't see that and it is all about "give me, give me, give me". Anyway I guess disagree with that I don't care. As far as I'm concerned when it comes to TFP they have not let me down yet but that is my opinion.
I'm not sure what you mean by "they have to support this game until this cycle of gen consoles are completely done it's legally there duty" since most Triple A titles don't have that sort of "legal" obligation. Or at least don't appear to. There are plenty of games that no longer receive updates for the games on console platforms. Unless they are releasing new content(GTA V), or actively supporting the game currently(Fortnite) they do not have to do so for the entirety of a game's life on consoles.
